Path, ?, C.Seventy-five years ago the crusadeagainst strong drink j bad hardly begun ;prohibition was unknown. The ideasOf Jefferson and Jackson; as to freedom*^<kmc*racy were rampant in America, they had almost been carried tothe extreme and the idea of personalfreedom with many persons .Was prac-'tically equivalent to unlimited license.A writer in Munsey's Magazine (July^August, 1905)shows that at that period the; li^nigh universal, ^favtmV counter'thatthere we re many hundreds of thousandsf?^*-. . dran?t to [ ' a^c****;a??1 Were,'.many moro, b m dredsVn^WrW; drank regularly, butwith some moderation, and that theper capita consumption of Kqi? wererVery nmcb higher than now.^?aredl'?'^'t?he';. conscience of the -fi?l?tion began to awake and corm?or.and American r/oannpod began tothemselves. :vPntit?jt?t?n>ei^'Ychange. . Everywhere from oneof this country to the other, peoplecommenced to take a truer and sanerview of the frightful evil of drink, andfor seventy-five years, led on by suchpioneers as John B. Gough and LorenzoDow, and Inter by such great leadersas Frances Willard and Dwight L.Moody, the Christian manhood of thenation has marched against this centralstronghold of the evil one. Opendrunkenness is no longer toleratedj among good people, and it is no longerj regarded as the distinguishing mark ofj a gentleman to sit longest at the banI quet board and be the last to f ;o underthe table. Prior to this awakeningeven many of the preachers drank, andthey do in England and some othercountries today, and nothing wasthought of it. We havo had old inhabitants to tell us of preachera of theI olden time who thought nothing of tak: lng their morning dram and who wouldeven join their parishioners in disposing of a bottle on the streets of thetown.What a remarkable advance in public sentiment in America since thattime! Today one-half of theAmerican people have prohibition lawsand the remaining one-half have restricted the traffic in varying degrees.The article in Munsey's gives a mapshowing that all of Maine and Kansas,nearly all of Mississippi and severalother States, and hundreds of countiesin New York, hundreds in Ohio, hundreds in Indiana and Illinois, hundredsin Georgia and Texas and in othergreat States have entirely prohibitedthe sale of intoxicating l'quors. Infact, in these great States and in nearly all other States except in the veryfar west, the Bale of liquor is nowpractically confined to the great cities,and it is plain to be seen that it is onlya matter of time until this damnablotraffic must give way everywhere before the onward march of intelligentChristian sentiment.If we of this generation do your dutyin the matter, the next twenty-fiveyears will see an advance as great asthat made during the last seventy-fiveyears, and the century from 1828 to1930 will mark the everlasting doom ofthis everlasting traffic. We look ba?kwith surprise and horror upon the conditions that existed in our countryseventy-five years ago, and we thinkwe have advanced-which unquestionably we have-but our descendantsseventy-five years from now, in studying the history of this generation, willregard with equal surprise and horrorthe conditions of the present time andwill be equally thankful for the cycleof progress covering the seventy-fiveyears between our time and theirs.South Carolina, thank God, is making some progress. Counties containing almost half of her population havesaid that it shall be no longer legalwithin our borders for men to sell tctheir brethren. the poison that destroysthem, body, intellect and soul, andcondemns their innocent families to suffer. Since this Association met las!fifteen counties have voted out thcdispensary? Union, Laurens, Williamsburg, Newberry? Marion, York, Horry,Lancaster, Darlington, Ocone?, Spar? tanburg? Greenville, - Anderson, Edgej field and Saluda. Two counties, CherI okee .and Pickens, had already done th<same thing. Two other counties?Greenwood and Marlboro,, had neveii had a dispensary, so that nineteen oour counties, or nearly half of the total number, have shown t'jeir fetentioi?.that the whiskey traffic shall not b<legalized within their borders, a?" ?gii in Williamsburg and Laurens the eleci tiona , were declared invalid hy thcourt. ,* For the first six months in the city o; Ander jon this year there were 404 caaeint he police court. The last year for icorresponding period there were 702Fer the first six months this year therWfcTO 140 cases for drunkenness; lasyear there were 339, For the first atmonths of this year, in the city oGreenville there were 337 arrests; ioi the six months preceding that timewhen the dispensary was in op?rationthere were 647 arrests. Other .?fuities send similar reports. A-*M.ytjg?facta'are most gratifying to all ot.%who have lifted a . voice or cast a balot for thc p?/ity of the home and thpeace and good name of our countieand our State.j But there is work yet to dp, and! great deal of it.

W. Sullivan continued in therace, as I hoped he would.^Mr. Watson and I disagreed so seriously during the last session of thelegislature with regard to certain menand matters connected with tho dispensary that I felt it to be my duty tofile a pledge, under tho now conditionsso quickly occurring so as to insure anopportunity to the voters of this county to decide between Mr. Watson'svif .wa on those men and matters and'ie views of those who disagreed withh-m, ahould Mr. Sullivan be unable tomake the race for any reason.Hence I filed a pledge so that Mr.Sullivan, who was not in the city thatday. could be informed of the new situation,-and as he has written that hewiii remain in the race to the finish, Ihave withdrawn my pledge, and, ofcourse, will not enter the race..
